Songs that have a special meaning to you

Postby rocklobster » Wed Feb 18, 2009 7:34 pm

Ever found a song that you think was written just for you? What I mean is, it's a song that you feel is speaking right to you because you can identify with it. If that's the case, post it here!
I'll start us off with this awesome song!

Song: I'm Still Here
Artist: Goo Goo Dolls
I am a question to the world
Not an answer to be heard
Or a moment that's held in your arms

And what do you think you'd ever say
I won't listen anyway
You don't know me
And I'll never be what you want me to be

And what do you think you'd understand
I'm a boy ? No, I'm a man
You can't take me and throw me away
And how can you learn what's never shown
Yeah you stand here on your own
They don't know me
'Cause I'm not here

And I want a moment to be real
Wanna touch things I don't feel
Wanna hold on and feel I belong
And how can the world want me to change
They're the ones that stay the same
They don't know me
'Cause I'm not here

And you see the things they never see
All you wanted I could be
Now you know me and I'm not afraid
And I want to tell you who I am
Can you help me be a man
They can't break me
As long as I know who I am

And I want a moment to be real
Wanna touch things I don't feel
Wanna hold on and feel I belong
How can the world want me to change
They're the ones that stay the same
They can't see me
But I'm still here

They can't tell me who to be
'Cause I'm not what they see
Yeah the world is still sleepin?
While I keep on dreamin? for me
And their words are just whispers and lies
That I'll never believe

And I want a moment to be real
Wanna touch things I don't feel
Wanna hold on and feel I belong
And how can they say I'll never change
They're the ones that stay the same
I'm the one now
'Cause I'm still here
I'm the one
'Cause I'm still here
I'm still here
I'm still here
I'm still here
"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you. I appointed you to be a prophet of all nations."

Currently it's this one.

Promise of a Lifetime by Kutless. Not too long ago I was in a deep rut and after talking to a dear friend of mine about it, I turned on my CD player, remembering I had the CD inside. I listened to this song at least 3 times on end, taking in the message of the lyrics and feeling the Lord minister to me.

This may sound terrible, but "The Unforgiven" by Metallica still hits home for me.

Take Me In by Kutless reflects the state of surrender I'm learning to embrace.

Here's a song I definitely think we need.
Song: Calling All Angels
Artist: Train
I need a sign to let me know you're here
All of these lines are being crossed over the atmosphere
I need to know that things are gonna look up
'Cause I feel us drowning in a sea spilled from a cup

When there is no place safe and no safe place to put my head
When you feel the world shake from the words that are said

[Chorus:]
And I'm calling all angels
I'm calling all you angels

I won't give up if you dont give up [Reapeat x4]

I need a sign to let me know you're here
'Cause my TV set just keeps it all from being clear
I want a reason for the way things have to be
I need a hand to help build up some kind of hope inside of me

[Chorus]

When children have to play inside so they don't disappear
And private eyes solve marriage lies cause we don't talk for years
And futbol teams are kissing Queens
and losing sight of having dreams
In a world that what we want is only what we want until it's ours

[Chorus x2]

Calling all you angels [Repeat till fade]

One of my favorite songs by my favorite band:
Internalize by Galactic Cowboys
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XOqQvTu4OYU

More and more you're lookin' in
Play the game and never win
More and more I push inside
The negative and let it slide away

All the pain I fear in life
Becoming petrified...I internalize

More and more I feel the hand
Helping me to understand
more and more I wage a war
Fighting in the very core of me

All the pain I fear in life
Become petrified...I internalize
Locked away and try to hide
Never more the wise...I internalize

Sorrow needs a place to go
See the me you'll never know

All the pain I fear in life
Become petrified...I internalize
Locked away and try to hide
Never more the wise...I internalize

Ah, spammers. They'll try anything. Some day maybe they'll realize that annoying people is not a good sales tactic.

Spammer taken care of....

I love "I can only imagine" by Mercy Me. That was one of the first contemporary Christian songs that really spoke to me, and it still is special to me.
